Hurricane Injury Claims
If you were affected by Hurricane Sandy and have sustained injuries, lost a loved one, or have damages to your home that have made it so that you could not return, it might be in your best interest to contact an experienced personal injury lawyer in the Southern New Jersey area. Hurricane Sandy striking areas of the New Jersey shore and coastal areas caused unprecedented damage and left many unprepared for the amount of damage that was inflicted on the areas of Cape May, Egg Harbor, Atlantic City, Stone Harbor, Avalon, Wildwood, Brigantine, Ocean City, and Sea Isle. Obviously, the period of time following the effects of a natural disaster can be chaotic and stressful. If you have a family member that has been injured, it can add to this stress. Your first priority should be to ensure the health of your family members. You can call 3-1-1 to find out what hospitals are open and have the capacity. Obviously, in the event of an emergency, you should find transportation to the nearest operational hospital. After that, it may be necessary to seek relief as soon as possible.
Understanding Insurance Policies
If you or a family member have suffered an injury as a result of municipal damage, property damage, or flood damage, your insurance coverage or the coverage of a neighbor or municipality may include personal injury protection and you may be able to file a lawsuit in order to be compensated for your medical bills and suffering as a result of your circumstances.
Following natural disasters, insurance companies may see a large influx of claims for both property and injury losses. When a large number of claims come in as a result of one event, insurance companies often create disaster relief teams whose job it is to specifically handle the filing of claims related to that event. Just as often, these insurance companies will lessen their payout procedures and try and settle or issue payment of claims for less than you can get if you hire a plaintiff attorney.
